Kylian Mbappe has lit up this World Cup but the France star has paid homage to club team-mate Achraf Hakimi after his Moroccan heroics on Tuesday.
The North Africans' impressive World Cup took another upward turn when they stunned Spain on penalties to advance to the quarter-finals for the first time in their history.
With Spain having missed their first three penalties and Morocco converting two of their three, Hakimi stepped up to the penalty spot knowing he can create history for his country.
